This Aircraft Design at 2025 by NASA

In late 2010, the U.S. space agency, NASA awarded contracts to three teams namely Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing Company to examine the concept of advanced design future aircraft that could be used in 2025. Each aircraft design produced three teamsseem different ,however ,whatever its design ,must meet the criteria set at NASA ,namely :no noise ,no exhaust smoke ,and fuel efficient .

That means, each aircraft must balance all the advanced technology and environmental friendliness. NASA also requires that future aircraft could operate safely in the air traffic management that is more modern in the future.

Another requirement: each aircraft must be able to fly at least 85 percent of the speed of sound, can cross a distance of at least 7000 miles, and can carry 50,000 to 100,000 pounds of cargo, passengers plus cargo.
For the rest of a predetermined time, the team will research, test, and perform simulations. Also remove and retain innovations so that they could be out as a winner in this contest NASA.
